A MINE SITE'S BEST FRIEND

ATLAS COPCO IS HELPING MINERS OVERCOME AIR COMPRESSOR CHALLENGES WITH THE AIRCUBE.

- 

Compressed air plays an essential role in powering equipment and improving safety outcomes in the Australian mining industry.

Understanding the challenges of securely storing and operating compressed air on mine sites, Atlas Copco developed the AIRCUBE, a modular, containerised compressor room designed to overcome the limitations of traditional plant infrastructure.

The AIRCUBE was created to provide a flexible, efficient solution for sites where building permanent plant rooms is impractical or cost prohibitive.

“Suitable covered areas or plant rooms are not always available to house compressors, blowers, or gas generation equipment close to applications,” Atlas Copco product manager Dilllon Smith told Australian Mining.

“The AIRCUBE is a modular solution that safely contains and protects your compressed air equipment in any location or environment without the need for new or upgraded plant rooms, removing cost and safety implications.”

Available in 20-foot or 40-foot models, the AIRCUBE can be adapted to each site’s specific requirements.

“An AIRCUBE is selected by Atlas Copco’s engineering team based on the compressed air equipment required to meet a site’s f low and pressure needs,” Smith said.
